Josh Woodward: "Chainsaw"

I'm coming down with yet another cold and my voice is going, so I decided to dim the lights and sing a quiet, touching ballad for you on a snowy day.

Sweet Charlene McGray
Pretty as a posie in the springtime
She would twirl around all day
Get dizzy and she'd fall down in a haze And the country breeze passed slowly as I went to her I knocked upon her solid wooden door But her father, he just looked at me and said "leave or I'll call the law" So I cut her pa in half with a chainsaw

She always had a way
Of giving all the neighbor boys sensations
They would close their eyes and pray
That their Christian God would lead them from temptation But her mama didn't want that girl to grow up And end up with a heathen like myself Well, she always tried to tell Charlene about my little flaws So I cut her ma in half with a chainsaw

And now sweet Charlene McGray
She's all mine, there's nothing to divide us
On that sunny day in May
It was time to ask that girl to be my bride So I got down on one knee and took her finger And I said to her, "Charlene, will you be mine?" But she just kept complaining that I killed her ma and pa So I cut Charlene in half with a chainsaw
